Privacy Policy

We know privacy policies have a reputation for being long, confusing, and full of legal language that nobody actually reads. We are going to try something different here.

This page explains — in plain, straightforward language — exactly what information we collect when you visit 9thclassresult2026.today, why we collect it, and what we do with it. If you have a question that this page does not answer, please reach out to us directly. We are real people and we will respond.

Who We Are

9thclassresult2026.today is an independent educational resource that publishes 9th class examination results, board-wise statistics, and student guidance for Pakistan’s matric annual examinations. We are based in Pakistan and our primary audience is Pakistani students, parents, and educators.

When this policy refers to “we,” “us,” or “our,” it means the team behind 9thclassresult2026.today. When it refers to “you,” it means you — the person visiting or using this website.

What Information We Collect

We want to be completely honest: we do not ask you to create an account, we do not require you to provide your name, and we do not store your roll number or examination result anywhere on our servers. The data we collect is limited, and most of it is collected automatically by the tools we use to run the website.

Here is a straightforward breakdown.

Information You Give Us Directly

Contact Form If you use our contact form to send us a message, we receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to reply to you. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit permission, and we do not share your contact details with anyone else.

Push Notification Permission If you click “Notify Me” or install our website as an app on your device and grant notification permission, we store a notification token on your device. This is used only to send you alerts about result announcements — specifically, to tell you when the 9th class result has been officially announced. You can withdraw this permission at any time through your browser or device settings.

Information Collected Automatically

Every website collects some basic technical information automatically. When you visit 9thclassresult2026.today, our servers and third-party tools receive:

• Your approximate location (country and city — not your home address)
• The type of device and browser you are using
• Which pages you visited and for how long
• The website or search engine that referred you to us
• Your IP address (this is a standard technical identifier for internet traffic)

We use this information to understand how our website is being used so we can improve it — for example, to know which boards people search for most, or whether our pages are loading properly on mobile phones.

Cookies — What They Are and How We Use Them

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit. Cookies help websites remember certain things about your visit so you have a better experience.

We use cookies in three ways on this website.

1. Essential Cookies

These are cookies that the website needs in order to work properly. For example, WordPress (the platform we use to build and run this website) uses a small number of technical cookies to keep the website functioning. You cannot opt out of these without affecting how the site works.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our website. Google Analytics collects anonymous, aggregated data — things like how many people visited a particular page, how long they stayed, and what device they used. It does not identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3. Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

To keep this website free to use, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to show you ads that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity across different websites. This is sometimes called “interest-based advertising.”

If you would prefer not to see personalised ads, you can adjust your preferences through Google’s Ad Settings or by visiting the NAI opt-out page.

We want to be upfront: advertising revenue is how we cover the costs of running this website. We are grateful for your patience with the ads, and we have made a deliberate effort to keep them from being intrusive or overwhelming.

Third-Party Services We Use

Running a website involves working with several trusted third-party services. Here are the ones relevant to your privacy.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data. We encourage you to read them if you have specific concerns.

How We Use Your Information

To put it simply, we use the information we collect to:

• Keep the website running reliably, especially during high-traffic periods like result announcements
• Understand which content is most useful to our visitors so we can publish more of it
• Respond to your messages when you contact us
• Send you result notifications if you have opted in
• Display advertisements that help cover the cost of running the website
• Identify and fix technical problems or security issues

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent it, trade it, or share it with third parties for their marketing purposes. The data we collect is used to serve you — not to exploit you.

A Special Note: Children’s Privacy

This website is primarily used by students aged 14 to 16 years — the typical age group appearing in 9th class examinations in Pakistan. We take the privacy of young users seriously.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Our website does not require any registration, account creation, or submission of personal details to access results or content. The only way personal information is submitted on this website is through the contact form, and we encourage parents and guardians to be aware of what their children are sharing online.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has submitted personal information to us that you would like removed, please contact us and we will address it promptly.

Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to official BISE portals, government education websites, and other third-party resources. When you click on an external link and leave our website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We do not control the content or privacy practices of those external websites and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

How Long We Keep Your Information

Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to respond to your query and are then deleted. We do not maintain long-term archives of user correspondence.

Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default through Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted.

Notification tokens (if you opted in for result alerts) are stored on your device and can be removed at any time by clearing your browser data or revoking notification permission from your device settings.

Your Rights

Regardless of where you are located, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of analytics and advertising cookies
• Withdraw consent for push notifications at any time
• Contact us with any privacy-related concern and receive a response

To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us through our Contact page. We will respond within a reasonable time and without making the process difficult for you.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect this website and the information collected through it. These include using HTTPS (the padlock in your browser address bar), a content delivery network with built-in security features through Cloudflare, and keeping our software and plugins up to date.

That said, no website can guarantee complete security against every possible threat. If you ever notice anything suspicious about this website — unusual behaviour, unexpected redirects, or anything that does not seem right — please let us know immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly as we add new features to the website. When we make a meaningful change, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

We will not make changes that significantly affect how we handle your data without making it visible and clear. We think it is only fair that you know what has changed.

Contact Us About Privacy

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or to how your information is handled, please get in touch with us through our Contact page.

We are a small team, and during busy periods like result season it may take us a day or two to respond — but we will respond. Your trust matters to us and we do not take privacy questions lightly.
